The half-centennial Norman Eaton Memorial Lecture will be presented by Marguerite Pienaar, student of Prof Fisher, who recently finished a post-graduate Masters Degree on the work of Norman Eaton (1902-1966).

The chronological study of his domestic drawings further allowed for the tracing of African and other influences in relation to his travels and their translation into architectural expression. Typological plan compositions and motifs emerged with clarity to aid in providing a critical appraisal of his domestic work.
